For years the Republicans attacked the tax and spend Democrats in Congress. And they should have, since the Dems were big tax and spenders. Yet Bush and his Republican friends are just as bad, as evidenced by this article.
Of course, the Republicans promised that if given a chance (control of Congress), they would put a stop to all that spending. I even had Bill Archer, the long-time congressman and former head of the House Ways and Means Committee, tell me to my face at a town hall meeting in Houston that the Republicans would stop all that government spending.
Since 1994, the "Republican Revolution" has been anything but. Both sides love to tax and spend and grow government. What's that old joke: "What does bipartisan mean? They both have their hands in your pockets."
In a civilized society, should anyone or any government ever force anyone to do anything against his or her will as long as that person does not infringe upon the life, liberty, or property of another?
